What if you break their ribs? Who cares! Would you rather be alive with a broken rib or dead? It’s that simple.

Can you be sued? Absolutely not. The law is very robust and you won’t be sued for having a go.

Worried about how many breaths to do? Don’t be. Hands only is fine.

All you have to do is press hard and fast in the centre of the chest with the heel of your hand.

If you’re still not sure how fast, Stayin’ Alive from the Bee Gees is about the right beat.

You need to act fast because every minute that goes by without anyone doing anything reduces the odds of survival by 10 per cent.

At 10 minutes, if no-one’s done anything, the person is dead. At about four minutes, irreversible brain damage starts setting in.

So even if an ambulance is called straight away, there’s a good chance help will arrive too late.

But doing CPR means that person may be able to hang on until help arrives. That’s because CPR pushes blood up from the person’s heart into their brain.

Restarting a heart

CPR will help keep someone alive, but restarting a heart needs a defibrillator. Many buildings have portable defibrillators (also known as AEDs) that anyone can use. They give voice instructions to tell you what to do. A helper should always look for one while CPR is done. It’s in your hands.

Some 30,000 people have a cardiac arrest in Australia each year and 90 per cent of them will die.

Cardiac arrest kills more people than lung and breast cancer, trauma and stroke all combined.

It’s not just common and lethal. It’s a problem everyone can do something about right now.

It needs all Australians to learn how to press on someone’s chest.

It needs the two hands at the end of your arms. And that’s it.

We cater for Northern Beaches locals so they don’t have to travel in to the City of Sydney. Locals from all over the Northern Beaches (Belrose, Avalon, Manly, Dee Why, Brookvale, Balgowlah, Cromer) and the North Shore ( Mosman, Cammeray, Chatswood, North Sydney, Crows Nest) have been raving about Simple Instruction’s First Aid and CPR course since 2009.

A CELEBRITY fitness trainer has launched a campaign to get lifesaving medical devices into businesses and homes after losing a beloved friend to a heart attack.

World champion ironman and surf lifesaver, Guy Leech, wants firms, and even families, to invest in $2000 easy-to-use defibrillators which could mean the difference between life and death.

He believes his friend Charles Stewart, 63, known as Chucky, could have survived if one of the devices had been close when he had a heart attack in Manly, in January.

Guy Leech with his friend Charles Stewart, journalist and film maker, who died from a sudden heart attack in Manly this year. Picture: Supplied. Leech, from Curl Curl, has trained stars including Madonna and George Clooney. He had been friends with the journalist, writer and filmmaker who used to work for Channel 9 on The Today Show, Wide World of Sports and Sports Sunday for 20 years.

He said he was like “an older brother” to him.

Chucky, from Seaforth, took part in Leech’s paddling group three times a week at Manly Cove, and was ‘strong and fit’ according to Leech

But on January 4, tragedy struck.

While the group was out in the harbour, Leech got a message that Chucky was heading back because he “wasn’t feeling 100 per cent”.

Leech want’s Chucky’s death to make a difference. He’s teamed up with defibrillator firm Physio-Control to get more into companies and homes. Picture: Troy Snook And when the group got back to Manly Cove not long after, they noticed a man being given CPR on the grass near the beach.

Leech was shocked to realise it was his friend. He took over CPR until an ambulance arrived and a defibrillator brought back a faint heartbeat.

But it was too late, and Chucky’s life support was switched off at the Royal North Shore Hospital six days later.

Now Leech wants Chucky’s death to make a difference. He’s teamed up with defibrillator firm Physio-Control to get more into companies and homes.

Guy Leech is a former champion ironman and surf lifesaver.

Guy Leech tried to save his friend after he was found collapsed from a heart attack. Picture: Troy Snook “It’s the difference between life and death,” he said. “More than 500 people a week have heart attacks or strokes. Unless a defibrillator is put on you within about three minutes you’ve got a 10 per cent chance of survival.

“The average time for an ambulance to arrive is 12 or 13 minutes.

“I don’t want Chucky’s death to be something that just goes by. He would want something to come from it.”

All gyms and public swimming pools should have Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs). There is very good evidence for this – they would save a few lives a year across Australia, and are only a couple of thousand dollars.

I’m a regular weight trainer and frequent the gym and believe that everyone does need to be sensible and be responsible for themselves. If you know yourself and your body well enough and you are honest with yourself then you should know your limits, etc. Having said that, there needs to be more guidance in the gym and DEFINITELY people with First Aid training on the gym floor – not just one person. Not sure that this environment should be too heavily regulated – don’t we have enough of that but something needs to happen. Gyms need to be more responsible and sensible when it comes to its patrons and their health & safety.

Yes I do! Personally I wouldn’t go anywhere near them but my wife attended one of those “women only” gyms. How does that work? Isn’t it against the law to discriminate against someone in providing a service on the basis of their gender? Anyway this mob was downright dangerous in the pressure they put on people. Them and their stupid little school games trying to shame people into exercising harder. I think they should be tightly regulated. Take down the “No Pain No Gain” signs and put up one that says “A Fitter Person Is Not Necessarily A Better Person”

No! While I don’t use a gym, I run and work out with weights in my own home. What ever happened to personal responsibility? Take control of your life. If you slip over in a supermarket, you should have taken more care, instead of expecting to sue the supermarket for ‘their negligence’. If you have a fatal heart attack walking up steps, sad, but that is life.

Gyms do need to take occupational health and safety more seriously than they do. They are high risk areas, but there seldom seems to be anyone qualified to deal with injuries or illnesses available. At any other high risk workplace, not having a staff member with a current first aid certificate would be completely unacceptable.

Whether the government is able to – or even should – change the way gym managers choose to run their facilities is another question. A better approach would be for consumers to ask serious questions about safety and the qualifications of *all* staff before signing up. There are plenty of gyms out there to choose from.

Absolutely – I’ve seen some appalling behaviour from on-duty gym “instructors”, from running away to laughing when people have seriously injured themselves on the equipment. And then there are those 2-3 hour windows that every gym I’ve been a member of has where there are no staff on duty.

Clearly the only way forward is through the threat of government sanctions on an organisation and/or an individual.

In SA, it is an industry standard that gym instructors, personal trainers and fitness instructors have up to date CPR and First Aid along with relevant qualifications. It is also common sense as fitness facilities have a duty of care over all people in their centre, so why wouldn’t a facility ensure staff know what they’re doing? Good centres hound their employees when certificates fall out of date; even better ones provide training regularly to ensure no one has an excuse. I have never worked in a centre that will employ someone without first aid and CPR training (and I’ve worked in LOTS of SA fitness facilities).

I have worked at a centre where a client has died from a heart attack and staff were quick to respond and keep the client alive until paremedics arrived. Often, despite all the best cues and care and precautions from fitness centre staff, people just have heart attacks or other health issues. In the case I was exposed to, it was caused by something unpreventable, whether the client was at the gym, at home, or at a hospital.

People do need to accept personal responsibility and recognise their boundaries when exercising AND staff have a responsibility to provide safe and effective information regarding a person’s exercise regieme and known health issues. This is why many choose to exercise under supervision of fitness facilities rather than on their own.

If you feel you are not getting this from your fitness centre, ask them why, as its a legal requirement (and common sense). It might also be time to shop around for another gym!

Regarding “shaming” participants into exercise: every instructor is different, same as doctors, nurses, physios, lawyers, etc. and if you don’t like their personality, try another instructor. Some do use pushier techniques (like what you imagine or see on TV), but more use motivational psychology and encouragement as these are proven to get better long-term results which ultimately serves the industry better and provides job security!

The gym supports it ? if I owned the gym I would of already trained all staff in 1st aid and installed AEDs. A big gym like fitness first should already have this in place. You would think, wouldn’t you ?

Do you and your staff hold an up-to-date First Aid certificate? Do your staff meet strict workplace requirements? Do your staff need to update their Perform CPR component or obtain a Perform CPR certificate? (Note: CPR Component needs to be updated every year)

‘If people are unwilling or unable to do ventilations, they should at least do chest compressions.’

17/03/2011- Revised national resuscitation guidelines highlight the need to get help as soon as possible, perform compressions before ventilations and give quality cardio-pulmonary resuscitation.

Issued by the Australian Resuscitation Council, the revised guidelines reflect recent scientific evidence that has been evaluated and published by the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation.

Council chairman, UWA Winthrop Professor Ian Jacobs said getting help immediately was important because it was very difficult for someone to perform consistent, uninterrupted, quality CPR on their own. And despite studies suggesting that providing ventilations during CPR had no added benefit in terms of survival over providing chest compressions only, Professor Jacobs said ventilation was still extremely important.

“Ventilation remains an important part of the resuscitation process and if people are trained and competent in resuscitation they should do conventional CPR, which involves both ventilation and compression,” he said. “If people are unwilling or unable to do ventilations, they should at least do chest compressions. The bottom line is that any CPR is better than no CPR at all.

“We recommend that you check for responsiveness, open the airway and if the person’s not breathing normally, give chest compressions and then start ventilations. Compressions should be delivered at a rate of at least 100 compressions per minute (about two compressions per second) followed by two ventilations.”

Professor Jacobs said the Australian Resuscitation Council would hold its 8th International Spark of Life Conference in Perth from April 7 to 9.

“The conference will provide a great opportunity for those at all levels involved in resuscitation to hear leading international and Australian speakers discuss resuscitation guidelines and the evidence behind them,” he said.

A registered nurse who became a paramedic before moving into academia, Professor Jacobs’ research is in emergency medicine, resuscitation and pre-hospital care.
